February 2025

Good Morning Bakerview Families,

We started our February with a snow day! A reminder to students to dress for the weather and be careful on walkways around the campus. Our team works hard to remove snow and salt for our safety! 

On January 23 (the halfway point of our school year), we celebrated everyone at Bakerview's birthday with a Birthday Party Day! Students received a small gift (wireless headphones) and we had a pizza and cake at lunch!

Embracing Vulnerability: The Courage to Fall in Order to Rise in 2025

Ready or not, 2025 is here! While I am not one for resolutions, I like setting personal and professional goals. A new year brings with it a sense of hope and opportunity. No matter what happened the previous year, a new year feels like another chance to step closer to a dream, an aspiration, or even start something entirely new.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

One of the things I love most about this time of year is seeing the many ways we celebrate the season.  Visit any one of our schools and you’ll see snowflakes and Christmas trees and happy faces all around. If you are lucky, you might even catch sight of Santa and his elves. And it’s not just in schools and classrooms. The Abbotsford School Board Office is a veritable winter wonderland thanks to the goodwill and creative energy of our folks here.

December 2024

Good Morning Bakerview Families,
We cannot believe it is already December. Bakerview has it's very own Elf on the Shelf this year who brings prizes for students who spot the elf in his new spot each day.  The Elf also brought a special gift for every Bakerview student, a new pair of jogging pants. Students will receive their gift during the week of Dec 9!

Learning is Easier and Harder than You Think

I spoke with an elementary student recently. He was a hockey fan and could easily recite NHL players' names. He knew their jersey numbers, the positions they played, and sometimes the number of goals and assists they scored. I suspect you might know a sports fan like this, too.
